Control zones are identified on a thematic map and work machine actuator settings are identified for each control zone. A position of the work machine is sensed and actuators on the work machine are controlled based on the control zone that the work machine is in, and based upon the actuator settings corresponding to the control zone. The control zone is then divided, on a display, into a harvested portion of the control zone on which an observed condition value is shown, and control zone that has yet to be harvested, on which an estimated value of the condition is shown.

Systems and methods for route mapping with familiar routes include striking a balance between optimal routes from standard navigation systems minimizing time and distance and a mapping component that suggests familiar routes based on a user's route history. New routes including one or more familiar routes may be suggested to the user when they are not too far out of the way or take too long compared to the optimal routes and when they may be preferable or more comfortable.

Methods, systems, apparatus, and non-transitory computer readable media are described for using a vehicle as a payment device. Various aspects may include receiving a selection of a stored financial card or financial account at a vehicle head unit. The selected financial card or financial account may be transmitted to a point-of-sale (POS) terminal for making a payment by transmitting a tokenized card number to the POS terminal. The tokenized card number may be transmitted over a very short-range communication link to ensure that the transmission is secure. For example, electronic circuitry may be attached to the exterior of the vehicle, where the electronic circuitry may be within a threshold distance (e.g. one inch, three inches, six inches, one foot, three feet, etc.) of the POS terminal. The tokenized card number may be transmitted from the vehicle head unit to the electronic circuitry and then to the POS terminal.

A display apparatus for a vehicle includes: a controller configured to create map information; and a display device configured to display the map information created by the controller, wherein the controller controls the display device to display a path guidance texture based on a road shape when guiding a path among the map information.

A route for a trip to a destination is generated using map information. A set of no-go roadway segments, where the vehicle is not able to drive in an autonomous mode, relevant to the route from the plurality of no-go roadway segments is identified from the map information. A local region around a current location of the vehicle is determined. A local map region including roadway segments of the map information that correspond to locations within the local region is determined. The set of the plurality of no-go roadway segments is filtered from the roadway segments of the local map region. A cost value is assigned to each roadway segment of the filtered roadway segments of the local map region. Any assigned cost values are used to determining a plan for maneuvering the vehicle for a predetermined period into the future. The vehicle is maneuvered according to the plan.

Techniques provided herein are directed toward virtually extending an updated set of output positions of a mobile device determined by a VIO by combining a current set of VIO output positions with one or more previous sets of VIO output positions in such a way that ensure all outputs positions among the various combined sets of output positions are consistent. The combined sets can be used for accurate position determination of the mobile device. Moreover, the position determination further may be based on GNSS measurements.

There is provided a technique that can appropriately display route icons. A map display system includes a display section obtaining part that obtains display sections each being a section of a route to be displayed on a map; a connecting point obtaining part that obtains a connecting point, the connecting point being a point where different routes are connected together on the display sections; and a map display part that displays at least one route icon for each split section, the route icon being an image associated with a route, and the split section being obtained by splitting each of the display sections by the connecting point.

A vehicle position sensing system includes: a position information acquiring section that acquires position information of a vehicle; a storage section that stores first region information, which expresses automatic driving regions where automatic driving of the vehicle is possible and remote driving regions where remote operation driving of the vehicle is possible, and second region information that expresses manual driving regions where only manual driving of the vehicle is permitted; a head up display that can be viewed by a driver of the vehicle; and a control section that, on the basis of the position information of the vehicle, the first region information and the second region information, causes the head up display to display relative positional relationships among the vehicle, the automatic driving regions, the remote driving regions and the manual driving regions.

To predict a likelihood of an error by a user when traversing a route and take preemptive action, a computing device receives a request by a user for navigation directions from a starting location to a destination location via a route. The computing devices provides the set of navigation directions to the user, which includes navigation instructions each including a maneuver and a location on the route for the maneuver. For an upcoming maneuver on the route, the computing device determines a likelihood that the user will incorrectly perform the maneuver. In response to determining that the likelihood is above a threshold likelihood and prior to the user arriving at the location for the maneuver, the computing device generates an alternative set of navigation directions for navigating from a location off the route to the destination location via an alternative route.

The invention is a method of characterizing a road for at least one route travelled by at least one road user, with sensors: a three-axis accelerometer (ACC) and a geolocation sensor (GPS). The method comprises a measurement step (MES), a measurement processing step for disregarding (AFF) the effects related to the road user's speed in order to determine vibrations due to the road roughness, and an analysis of the vibrations to characterize (CAR) the condition of the road.
